Are you having trouble sleeping?
Sleep problems may be caused by how you’re feeling emotionally, or as part of the side effects for cancer treatment. If you find it hard to have a good sleep, you’re not alone. The Online Community is here to support you 24/7.
“Getting a cancer diagnosis is extremely stressful, and that brings a whole load of emotions, and lack of sleep certainly does not help. I think many of us have periods of insomnia. I experienced a long period of not sleeping. I could go off to sleep quite quickly, but after an hour I would find myself wide awake again, and would spend the rest of the night getting frustrated because I couldn't sleep."

I’ve had a few surgeries now, but I was nervous especially the first time-that was for a hysterectomy. The staff were so lovely though, and they kept me talking while they were getting me ready…then suddenly I was asleep! They know we’re nervous and they really do their best to try and reassure us. Mine was open abdominal, so it should be easier for you being keyhole-quicker recovery and not too much discomfort, but still-take it easy afterwards and look after yourself.

Evening Dingg 
Apologies for the late reply but we watched football, then care routine and now OH's in bed.
Thanks for your reply about the hospitals lovely, and I'm so glad you're happy with the one hubby's in now, but that's a crying shame about having to chase things up by yourself. Someone should really step up and do their job.
My friend's hubby had a much better experience with the Morriston, as his treatment was successful and he's recovering well at home. I really wish that you both will have the same outcome sweetheart, and hubby's still responding to his treatment. Look after yourself Dingg, and sending love and hugs xxx
